New York, July 7 M — The steamer Rochambeau, due here Monday from Havre, has among her passengers, Morton Hoyt, mem- ber of a socially prominent Wash- ington family, who jumped over- board off the Grand Banks and was rescued in 20 minutes. The ship was plowing its way through a dense fog last night when the cry, “Man overboard” was raised. The vessel immediately start- ed back along its course. Hoyt was heard crying for help. A lifeboat was lowered and he was picked up completely exhausted from his struggle with the waves. He sald he regretted jumping overboard and asked that he be allowed to sleep. Hoyt is the son of the late Henry M. Hoyt, who ©d as solicitor general of the United States in the Taft administration. Bennett and Nancy Hovt Wynne are his sisters. He married Jean Bankhead, daughter of the late Senator Bankhead of Alabama. A brother, Henry M. Hoyt, jr., a por- trait painter, committqd suicide in New York in 1920. The jump and the rescue were described in radio advices to the Associated Press. Eleanor Hoyt | cquitted on Charge - Of Cruelty to Beasts Hicksville, N. Y., July 7 P—A butler who shot and killed a mon- key today atood acquitted of & charge of cruelty to animals. Feliz Bolomon, who was employed as butler at the Long Island sum- mer home of Mr. and Mra Verner Reed of Denver, killed the animal on June 28 after it had escaped from the neighboring estate of N. J. Hess, New York real estate man. Solomon was defended by former Governor Nathan L. Miller and his trial attracted a crowded court room of society folk from the Oyster Bay distriet. w2 Solomon contended he killed the monkey when he saw it creeping up on two of the Reed children. The monkey, he said, was showing its teeth and he feared it would bite the children. Hess insiated the monkey was harmless and that Solomon should have frightened it away instead of shooting it. 16 BOYS AT LEGION CAMP Sixteen boys formed the group which yesterday officially opened the summer camp for boys conducted by Eddy-Glover post of this city, The boys were taken to the recreation grounds in Burlington yesterday and they will remain there for two weeks when a new group will take their places.
